This was driven by the axes provided by a few android phones and tablets
ubuntu touch was ported to. Which I believe resulted into a common set of
properties, shared by a lot of touch screens.

The problem I think is that most of us have no influence both ends at the
same time: applications or toolkits and the actual hardware. If the end
result is a nice appliance I doubt anyone will object to extend the
intermediate components. But there also has to be some sane fallback or
default for when the information is not available.

I will get back to that topic soon.. I still need to add a calibration
option(s) to get the contact sizes properly scaled...
